BendRed Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 So I have searched the web and here and everybody says its either on the fender wall of the passenger side or directly behind the charcoal filter on the driver side . I have looked and all I have on the fender wall are 3 blue single relays and behind the charcoal canister is one orange relay. Nothing that looks like the dual electrical plug in starter relay I got from the store to replace the faulty one. Does it make a difference my car is from canada ? I will post pics of the 2 locations shortly for you all to disect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpecialWarr Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 HHhhmmmm.... Mine has blue, gray and 1 black relay. The fact that is is from Canada may make a difference since we have DTRL legislation, exhaust component legislation and stringent clean air legislation. California cars like Precise1's and the rest of the crew is the same. Anyway, mine on the driver's side ( behind the canister; run (from the outside in)) as 1 black, 1 gray, 1 blue and 3 blue ones on the passenger side outside of the box: 2 in front of it and 1 behind with one extra unused relay nearest to the firewall.

In fact I can see where the Phillips screws in your picture would go on my fender wall , but there is nothing there . Strangeness Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BendRed Posted November 11, 2015 Author Share Posted November 11, 2015 This is what I have on my passenger fender wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mechanicalbaron Posted November 11, 2015 Share Posted November 11, 2015 This is what I have on my passenger fender wall. Maybe because of the difference in years? Mine is a 90 with a 5 speed manual. Is yours a automatic? Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechanicalbaron Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 That is odd. I'm curious to look at the service manual when I get to work tomorrow. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechanicalbaron Posted November 12, 2015 Share Posted November 12, 2015 From what I'm seeing your vehicle does not have one. Manual trans is the interlock switch. Auto trans is the inhibitor switch. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechanicalbaron Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Do you have a interlock switch on your dash? The schematic doesn't specify. It only shows signal to the starter solenoid directly from the ignition switch. I've ignition switches go bad in same year maximas. I've found the best way to check that is to wiggle the key back and forth when it is turned to the start/crank position, if it starts to crank it indicates poor contact internal the ignition switch. If it's the starter motor smacking it with a hammer and a long extension while having a buddy try to crank. If it starts turning it after smacking it that points to the starter motor or solenoid. But be really careful to not arc out the battery cables at the solenoid. That's about the best I can tell you.

Terranovation Posted November 13, 2015 Share Posted November 13, 2015 Maybe it just a fuse! Look at that pic top right hand corner. I see a couple fuses there for ignition switch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see a couple fuses there for ignition switch.Typically if a fuse was the issue it would not be an intermittent issue,it would all the time. Nissan schematics are kind of odd, the only power source for the starter solenoid I can see would be through the ignition switch, getting power from a fusible link at the battery, which is why I'm wondering if he has an interlock switch . That adds a little more to look at in the schematic. Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk True and I read that you said 'getting power from a fusible link at the battery' so that might be the intermittent issue. Try putting the ignition to ACC then jiggle the fusible link while turning the key to see if it makes any buzzing noise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BendRed Posted November 13, 2015 Author Share Posted November 13, 2015 All good points gentlemen . FYI - starter is 30 days old ... just installed it .When the key is in the ignition and the door is open , there is a door chime letting me know there is a key in it. Albeit this is in the non ACC position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF600 Posted November 25, 2015 Share Posted November 25, 2015 Did you fix it? What starter did you put in it? If it is an Autozone or equivalent, it might be bad. They say there parts have a lifetime warranty. You spend your lifetime replacing them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troutfinder Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 I had same problem with my 95. I just pulled out starter and replaced brush assembly on original starter. Fixed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
